Hi all,

New to the list. Been playing with Ansible for a few hours and I could use a hand in getting a task going. I've not figured out any of the YAML magic so please excuse the undoubtedly spectacular errors :)

Goal: create a task that installs a couple of directories in /home/patrick and /root.

---
# file: roles/common/tasks/main.yml

- name: dirs | Include vars
  include_vars: main.yml

- name: dirs | Create some directories
  file:
    dest: "{{ item.base }}/{{ item.usr }}/{{ item.dirs }}"
    mode: 0750
    owner: "{{ item.usr }}"
    group: "{{ item.usr }}"
    state: directory
  with_items: test

---
# file: roles/common/vars/main.yml

test:
  - usr: patrick
    base: /home
  - usr: root
    base: /
  - dirs: test1
  - dirs: test2


When I run this with:
$ ansible-playbook -v -i stage site.yml

I get:
TASK: [common | dirs | Create some directories] ******************************* fatal: [test.local] => One or more undefined variables: 'str object' has no attribute 'base'

I'm guessing that the issue is in vars/main.yml file but lots of Googling and staring at Github/Galaxy examples did not reveal a solution. Can anyone please enlighten me a bit?

Thanks,
Patrick
